Academic Programs
Our innovative curriculum integrates virtual reality across subjects, preparing students for future success.
Moonshot Thinking
At The VR School, we embrace Moonshot Thinking - a mindset that encourages students to tackle ambitious challenges and develop innovative solutions that can make a significant impact on the world. Through collaborative research and design thinking methodologies, our students learn to approach complex problems with creativity and purpose.
Our Moonshot Thinking curriculum was developed in collaboration with Stanford University, combining cutting-edge educational research with practical applications in the classroom. This pioneering approach has positioned The VR School at the forefront of educational innovation.
Stanford Collaboration
Our partnership with Stanford University has been instrumental in developing our Moonshot Thinking curriculum. This collaboration brings world-class educational research directly into our classrooms.
Key Elements of Moonshot Thinking
10X Thinking
Students learn to think beyond incremental improvements and aim for transformative solutions that are ten times better than existing approaches.
Research-Based Approach
Our curriculum integrates the latest educational research from Stanford and other leading institutions to ensure evidence-based practices.
Design Thinking
Students learn to apply design thinking methodologies to identify problems, prototype solutions, and iterate based on feedback.
Collaborative Innovation
Our approach emphasizes teamwork and cross-disciplinary collaboration to tackle complex challenges from multiple perspectives.
